Please update README and document connector.class

[jacojoubert12]

Please make the README more elaborate. It has been hours trying to get it going and the README doesn't help. It is not clear how to install, and how to run. Kafka-Connect keeps saying it can't find the connector.class. connector.class is not discussed in the document provided.

Hello @jacojoubert12 any updates on the same, as I am facing the same issue?

@jacojoubert12 I guess the 'connector class' refers to the actual connector class which in case of Aiven is io.aiven.kafka.connect.opensearch.OpensearchSinkConnector. At least we got this working in conjuction with the Strimzi Kafka Operator and its KafkaConnector CR.

Hi all,

A detailed description of what you tried, and what the result was will go a long way towards getting assistance for issues like this. I can't tell from the description of this issue whether the plugin is installed correctly in your environment, or whether your connector configuration is correct, so it is hard to write documentation which would have prevented the issue.

The "connector.class" configuration is part of the Connect framework, not this connector. See the upstream documentation here: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connect_configuring . If you're having trouble installing the connector, check the documentation for plugin.path: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connectconfigs_plugin.path . You can also search for examples on how to install and configure connectors, or find alternative documentation for Connect, beyond anything that this repository's README could provide.
